The Forge King
Probability is just a suggestion.
Who they are
The Forge King doesn't have a strategy. He has a tempo, and he steals yours. Mirror — his signature passive — copies your last move 25% of the time, which means every move you make is also handing him a free one. The fight is not against him. The fight is against your own habits, reflected back faster than you can change them.
The House of Mirrors
The corridor is a carnival gone wrong. Lights flicker between colors. The floor tilts — or maybe it doesn't. Hard to tell in the Trickster's domain. Mirrors line the walls and ceiling, not all of them showing the same thing, and the gambling den off to one side has chips from currencies that shouldn't exist.
Strengths
Mirror is the entire problem. 25% of the time, your move is replayed against you on the next round — and against a 16-LCK kit, the crits land more often than they should. Counter is resisted at 20%, so the safe response shape is degraded.
The Forge King is the most balanced statline in the campaign (12/13/12/11/16) — there is no exploitable weakness in the raw numbers.
Weaknesses
Weak to LCK — fighting fire with fire works. A high-LCK build can outroll him on crits. Strikes and abilities both deal +10% damage. The winning shape is to vary your moves so the Mirror has nothing useful to copy back: a predictable rotation hands him your best damage on a delay.
Signature moves

The Trickster archetype
Tricksters bend probability the way other classes bend metal. They don't have a strategy — they have a tempo, and you're always one beat behind.
